A professional development course for birth workers
The Birth Tree Facilitator Training is a comprehensive online course designed for doulas, midwives, childbirth educators, and birth professionals who want to guide their clients through creating their own Birth Tree with confidence, sensitivity, and skill.
Inside this video-based training, you’ll receive your own digital copy of The Birth Tree Workbook - not just as a resource, but as an embodied experience. Before you facilitate this process for others, you’ll be guided to complete your own Birth Tree, deepening your understanding of its structure, philosophy, and emotional impact.
Through step-by-step video teachings, you will learn how to:
-
Confidently introduce the Birth Tree to clients
-
Facilitate reflective conversations around birth intentions
-
Support clients in exploring their values without attachment to a single outcome
-
Hold space for fears, expectations, and emotional processing
-
Guide clients in creating preferences for all modes of delivery
-
Navigate sensitive conversations around cesarean birth, induction, assisted birth, and unexpected changes
-
Empower clients without reinforcing hierarchy or “ideal birth” narratives
At the core of this training is one foundational belief: there is no superior mode of birth. Every path to meeting a baby is valid. The Birth Tree model helps clients prepare thoughtfully for each possibility so they feel calm, confident, and grounded - regardless of how birth unfolds.
This course equips you not only with a beautiful, practical tool, but with a facilitation framework rooted in respect, inclusivity, and autonomy.
By the end of the training, you will be able to:
-
Integrate The Birth Tree into private sessions or group programs
-
Use it as a birth planning alternative that centers intention over rigid control
-
Help clients transform anxiety into clarity
-
Offer a tangible keepsake that becomes both preparation tool and emotional anchor
The Birth Tree Facilitator Training allows you to expand your professional toolkit while deepening the way you support families - shifting from “planning for one birth” to preparing for birth with strength, flexibility, and informed choice.
